Tokyo — Thousands of people lined the streets of Japan's capital city on Tuesday to bid a final farewell to the country's longest-serving prime minister, Shinzo Abe. The retired leader was assassinated Friday as he made a campaign speech for another candidate in the western city of Nara.

The murder with a homemade gun has shocked Japan, where firearms are highly controlled and gun violence is rare.

CBS News senior foreign correspondent Elizabeth Palmer said the hearse carrying Abe's remains brought him one last time past the parliament he'd served as a lawmaker, and then his old headquarters, the prime minister's official residence.
